 AWESOME! August 4, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This camera is GREAT! It has excellent zoom, and takes high quality pictures. Whether you are an advanced photographer, or just a beginner, this is a wonderful product. The software that comes with it sucks, so it's best if you have a memory card reader that allows you to put pictures directly onto your computer instead of using KODAK as a middle-man.
One feature that kind of annoys me is the focus light. As the camera focuses, a bright green light is emitted from a bulb next to the flash. This feature is great when you're using the timer because you know exatly when the picture is taken (there's no guess work here). It's also good when you're taking group photos because the people know to get ready.
The only problem is that there's no way to take authentic candid photos. If you just want a picture of people in their natural environment you may find this frustrating.
Other than that, this is an excellent camera. It's small, compact, and very light. I have taken thousands of photos with it in the 6 months that I have had it. (I took it to Alaska, and the pictures I got with it where superb!)
 Terrible Software August 3, 2007

Camera is okay, but the EasyShare software is terrible in my opinion. I've had nothing but problems downloading the supplied CD and the Web supplied whatever. My 12 yr old kids got the camera to transfer pictures to the computer, but as you know, they never tell the parents how to do it. The Kodak Website is worthless in this respect. I need this camera for my business, but so far its been worthless. I can't get the photos to download on Adobe, Picasa, or even the Kodak EasyShare itself. There's probably a good reason that the futuristic George Eastman committed suicide! This company is in the toilet.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this camera. I was pleased with the camera when I received it. After 3 weeks the LCD screen went out and over the course of the next week everything else stopped functioning. I thought, no big deal this should be covered under warranty. WRONG!!!! I sent the camera in and was told I would need to pay $140 to fix it. THey said that the camera had been dropped. I want to add that I never dropped the camera or exposed in to extreme conditions. If I had I would not be this upset.
I owned a Nikon before for 3 years and never had any problems. I am extremely upset with Kodak and will never buy from them again. Now to get by broken camera back I have to pay them $30.
Many features, great price June 18, 2007

I've been a 35mm SLR user forever and was a stubborn hold out from going digital. However, I finally decided to buy a digital camera but wasn't ready to fork over $1,200+ for a camera.
I then came across Kodak's Z710 advanced point and shoot. The wide array of features on the Z710, plus it's Schneider-Krueznach lens, and it's very reasonable price convinced me that this was a great "entry" camera into digital photography. I've had it for 2 weeks now and I'm very happy.
Simply put, the camera is fantastic. Amazing color rendition and ease of use. It's easy to handle and I like that it can be worn around the neck. The 10x zoom is also another strong point on this camera and I've used it to my great advantage. Kodak's Z710 has all the features of an SLR without the SLR price tag. I am happy to have it and I would recommend it to anyone seeking an advanced point and shoot digicam.
I'll hold onto to my old 35mm SLR's and maybe still use them from time to time, but I know my Kodak Z710 will surely be seeing heavy usage from here on out. I give it an A++++.

I bought this camera for my boyfriend for Christmas. He just used it for the first time back in May when he attended his daughters' Pre-K graduation. The ceremony was held indoors (dim lighting) but the video option managed to capture great footage. The picture and sound quality were great! Very clear, with graininess in only a few spots. The only problem we had is that you can't zoom in or zoom out once you start recording. There may be a way around this, we just need to figure it out. Ideas, anyone?
Also, he snapped still-shot photos from his nephews graduation and again, the picture quality is sharp. The colors are magnificent. Someone had mentioned in a previous review that the LSD screen is a bit sensitive in light, making it hard to see (which is true), but the photos come out beautiful all the same.
I wanted to invest in something simple that we could both use, since I love taking pictures also, but aren't very electronically-inclined. So far, this camera has proven to be very user-friendly for first time digital camera owners and I think the quality is awesome. I would recommend this product to anyone who would like to step up from 35MM and disposeables. Just remember to buy memory cards! I was a bit disappointed that one wasn't included. The memory in the actual camera doesn't store much information at all. We have been able to find reasonably priced memory cards at local stores such as Rite Aid and CVS Pharmacy.
I also bought the compatible Kodak EasyShare printer for this camera, but we haven't used it yet. I've read mixed reviews about it. Anyone have any imput on this product as well?
